Voter Registration

The last date to register to vote for the Bentonville School District millage election is Aug. 19. District supporters have pushed to register more parents to vote this year. Only 38 percent of parents were registered to vote for the last millage election in June 2012. Michael Poore, district superintendent, said Monday about 500 more parents have registered to vote since then.

Anyone needing to register to vote can stop by the Benton County Clerk’s Office on the second floor of the County Administration Building, 215 E. Central Ave., in Bentonville. Some form of identification is necessary to register.
